Solution

The correct option is C Yeast
Respiration is the catabolic process in which reduced substrates are broken down. The process of respiration can occur in presence of oxygen (aerobic respiration) or absence of oxygen (anaerobic respiration). The process of anaerobic respiration is also called as fermentation. In some microorganisms like yeast, the process of anaerobic respiration (fermentation) results in incomplete breakdown of glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide.
